Textile braiding is a method of making fabric with the arrangement of three or more yarns diagonally to each other, which forms a narrow structure that is elastic in nature. The raw materials for textile braiding are natural fibers like cotton and silk and synthetic fibers like polyester, nylon, and aramid, whose choice depends on the performance requirements.

Today, textile braiding is carried out with the help of advanced technologies such as rotary braiding, maypole braiding, and 3D braiding machines that enable precise control over braid geometry, density, and mechanical properties. With these advancements, the production of complex composite reinforcements and high-performance materials has become possible, and they are used in various industries. Due to their tensile strength and structural integrity, woven textiles have widespread applications, such as in garment cords, shoelaces, medical sutures, ropes, harnesses, and aerospace composites.

Based on their structure, textile braiding can be divided into flat braids, round braids, and tubular braids. Flat braids are used in decorative trims and laces, round braids in ropes and cables, and tubular braids, which are airtight, in reinforcements and protective coverings. Thus, this multifaceted method serves as a link between the artist's workshop and the advanced materials laboratory.
